Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) closed at $363.54 on August 28, 2026, adding 0.35% in the latest 24-hour session. The gain was modest on its own but contributed to a broader upward trend that has defined the stock's recent trading.

Over the past seven days, MPC advanced 1.45%, reflecting a steady if measured pace of appreciation. The more striking figure comes over the 30-day window, where shares climbed 18.76%, representing a substantial move for a company of Marathon Petroleum's size.

With a market capitalization of $101.73 billion, Marathon Petroleum remains one of the larger players in the refining and marketing sector. The sustained monthly gain has pushed the stock to its current price level as of the August 28 session.

The combination of short-term stability and strong medium-term momentum positions MPC's recent performance as a noteworthy data point across the broader energy landscape.
